The more I think about it, it's actually a bit of a trick question since two answers are technically correct.

The electron will accelerate both against the electric field and opposite to the...

Simple answer: No.

Not-so-simple answer: Maybe. When a lamp is turned off there is usually a physical break in the connection between line and neutral. If the physical distance between line and...

The technical hurdle? Well, I suppose that would be the voltage of the battery and the nature of the electricity used in our households. Typical North American households are supplied with...

Most electronic devices these days have what's called "standby" mode. It is very likely that your cell phone charger, even when its not charging your phone, is drawing some power from the outlet it...

Whoa whoa... slow down there. Why so hasty to plead guilty? From the sounds of things, this was somewhat of a mistake. Granted, surely you knew that this money wasn't yours and you spent it...

If it's a single phase tripping, and the wires are fine, then issue could be a short on that phase in one (or more) of your units.

As a side-issue, since the main breaker is sometimes tripping, I...

Your L7 has dual coils, each at 2 ohms. You could wire this several different ways. In series, parallel, or separate (depending on the amp you choose). The Apline MRD-M1005 is a mono amp with 700W...

Half true. He could wire the coils in series for 4 ohms or parallel for 1 ohm.

If you bought two, dual-coil (2ohms/coil) speakers then you could wire the entire system into several different...

MBR technology combines the activated sludge "bioreaction" portion of the water treatment process with the solid removal "clarification" portion. In your typical bioreactor WWTP, you'll have a...

Is your panel rated for continuous duty or not? If it is, that means it is able to handle 60A of continuous current - a sum of ALL current through ALL breakers in the panel. Otherwise, it is likely...

Cell phones have used both digital and analog technology over the years; these days it is much more likely that you will be communicating over a digital transmission than an analog one. There are...

An electric field is defined as a vector pointing from positive to negative. Here's a crude picture:

+|---->|-
^
e

The left side is a positively charged plate, denoted "+" and...

A thermistor is a device whose resistance is directly proportional to its temperature. There are two kinds, those with a positive coefficient and those with a negative (all this does is determine...

Tkrussel:

Only #6? Really? I'm not familiar with the NEC but I find this interesting as the CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) would require a mininum #3AWG Cu grounding conductor for a 200A service...

1) This depends entirely on your fixture. Is it 115V? 208V? 347V? (Yes, for my American friends, 347V is used here in Canada). The voltage, and # of phases in particular, will determine how many...
